Title: Endoprosthesis with long-term stability
Inventor: SCHMIDT K H
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an active substance complex for creating biological parts, in particular organs for living organisms, with the following components which differ from one another and are specifically adapted to the respective biological part which is to be created, namely at least one structural component based on extracellular material specifically adapted to the cells of the respective biological part which is to be created, at least one recruiting component, at least one adhesion component, and at least one growth and/or maturation component for producing an endoprosthesis implant.     The outer surface (I) of the endoprosthesis is coated at least partially with the active substance complex. In addition, the endoprosthesis has at least one cavity (II) which is filled with the active substance complex. In order to reduce the amount of active substance complex needed for filling the at least one cavity (II), the active substance complex can additionally be applied to a further support material such as collagen or a suitable polymer.

Abstract: For the stabilization of the reaction, especially, for maintaining reaction temperature, the feedback control by the feedback unit is performed for to the supply of air (, oxygen, or oxidizing agent), whereas other materials are supplied by the open-loop control according to the instruction of the flow selection unit which indicates a preset value depending on the required hydrogen production volume. In addition, the continuous flow setting unit capable of changing the flow continuously is employed for the supply system of the air, whereas the flow control of the other materials is performed by use of the discrete flow setting units each of which provides the discretized flow by use of the on-off combination of two or more on-off valves.

Abstract: A windowing mechanism for processing an OFDM symbol is presented. The windowing mechanism (86, 92, 94) applies an apodizing window function having the property W j + W  (FFTSIZE/2+j)=constant, where FFTSize is the size of the FFT sample, to a received OFDM symbol sample and a time-offset version of the OFDM symbol sample to produce sets of window values. The time-offset sample is offset from the original symbol by one half the symbol period. The time-offset windowed sample is shifted (88) into realignment with the windowed original symbol. Corresponding ones of the windowed values are summed (90) together to restore the windowed symbol to its original form.

Abstract: In a search engine with two-dimensional scalable architecture for searching of a collection of documents D, the search engine comprises data processing units which form sets of nodes (N) connected in a network, a first set of nodes comprising dispatch nodes (N .alpha.), a second set of nodes search nodes (N .beta.) and a third set of nodes indexing nodes (N .gamma.). The search nodes (N .beta.) are grouped in columns which via the network are connected in parallel between the dispatch nodes (N .alpha.) and an indexing node (N .gamma.). The dispatch nodes (N .alpha.) are adapted for processing search queries and search answers, the search nodes (N .beta.) are adapted to contain search software, and the indexing nodes (N .gamma.) are adapted for generally generating indexes I for the search software. Optionally, acquisition nodes (N .delta.) provided in a fourth set of nodes and adapted for processing the search answers, thus relieving the dispatch nodes of this task. The two-dimensional scaling takes place respectively through a scaling of the data volume and a scaling of the search engine performance through a respective adaptation of the architecture.

The porous extensible polymeric webs of the present invention may also be used in other portions of the absorbent articles where a stretchable or breathable material is desired, such as topsheets or backsheets. The material of the present invention provides the additional benefits of improved elevated (e.g., body temperature) performance and lotion resistance. The elastomeric material of the present invention preferably exhibits improved elastomeric properties at body temperature and under load or stress for a specified period of time, with or without lotion applied. In a preferred embodiment, the elastomeric material comprises block copolymers, such as polystyrene-butadiene-polystyrene block copolymers having a styrene content in excess of about 10 weight percent; at least one thermoplastic resin, such as vinylarene or polyolefins; and a processing oil, particularly a low viscosity hydrocarbon oil such as mineral oil.

Title: Method and system for providing purchase incentives designed to increase customer loyalty
Inventor: GRANGER DANIEL D
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: A method, system, and computer program for providing purchase incentives to customers is disclosed. Identifying information of a customer is received by a computer during a purchase transaction at a retail store (figure 1, items 101, 109). The computer determines a purchase incentive associated with the identifying information of the customer and based on purchase history information of the customer, the purchase incentive including a loyalty condition for increasing the customer's loyalty to the store and a reward to be provided to the customer (figure 2, item 205, figure 3, item 307). A  printer coupled to the computer prints the purchase incentive. When the customer returns to the store to make another purchase transaction, the computer receives again the identifying information of the customer and determines whether the customer has met the loyalty condition. If the customer has met the loyalty condition, then the customer is rewarded. In alternative embodiments, all or a portion of the processing is performed by a host computer and/or a store computer coupled to the host computer.
